- Do not choose fruits with rough, dry, wrinkled skin and a strong unpleasant smell, as these may be wilted, old calamondins, which are not safe to use.
How to choose good quality honey
- When buying honey, you should select branded products with clear origin sold in supermarkets or reputable honey stores.
- To check if honey is good and of high quality, you can drop honey onto a piece of absorbent paper. If the drop forms a round shape and dissolves slowly or not at all, it is real honey. Conversely, if it dissolves quickly, it has been diluted and its nutritional value is no longer high.
- Avoid buying expired honey, which may show signs like white bubbles on the surface, a strong pungent smell, and a sour and bitter taste when sampled.
